Lunation length shorter than mean

Length of current synodic month is 1 hour and 32 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 4 hours and 37 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.

Lunar orbit position on 20 November 2066 Saturday 12:00 UTC

True anomaly ∠328.7°

This lunation true anomaly is ∠328.7°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠346.7°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).

Moon after perigee

1 day after point of perigee on 19 November 2066 at 10:44 in ♐ Sagittarius. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 14 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 5 December 2066 at 07:41 in ♋ Cancer.

Distance to Moon 363 410 km

Moon after ascending node

1 day after its ascending node on 19 November 2066 at 21:21 in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 12 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 3 December 2066 at 11:04 in ♊ Gemini.

Draconic month

Moon after southern standstill

1 day after previous South standstill on 19 November 2066 at 02:52 in ♐ Sagittarius, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-23.944°. Next 12 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠23.924° in the next northern standstill on 2 December 2066 at 12:20 in ♊ Gemini.
